Why is it always the opposition that does this and not us? 15 minutes into the second half our attacks were going nowhere with Shay puffing and blowing understandably after very little match time, and Hatfield had been ineffective, plus missing a sitter from just in front of goal. I just don't get why JB didn't change things at that stage with Gray, Mingoia, Naismith, Webber and Windass on the bench. We only put their defence under any sustained pressure after we put on the late subs, and the Stag's noisy support suddenly lapsed into nervous silence.
Sure, I'm grateful for the point though it was arguably a lucky one, but we really needed the three with away games next against two teams well in contention for the play offs. JB is doing a great job, but I wish he didn't have such a blind spot as far as subs are concerned.
Rant over!

Bit harsh that Redraine,they seemed to get a foothold in the game when they made their subs and went 4-4-2 with a bit of width.
You wonder why they didn't set up that way from the start,and give they big lads crosses rather than flick ons.
for the goal the lad did well,but Joycy didn't track his man who fired it in,which was unfortunate as he had a decent game
